Supreme Court Upholds Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls
On May 27, the Supreme Court ruled that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls does not conflict with the Representation of the People Act, 1950, or the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. Chief Justice Surya Kant stated the exercise aligns with the constitutional mandate for free and fair elections. The judgment affirmed the Election Commission's authority under Section 21(3) of the Act and Article 324 of the Constitution to conduct such revisions.
